I created this thread 6 years ago when APC began to slowly dismantle, or at the very least to impede, the desktop view of Airline Pilot Forums.
The latest changes have made things even worst. In the past when using the desktop view (my preference) I was always able to browse different threads without having to sign in. If I wanted to post I’d sign in, otherwise I was able to browse the different threads without having to sign in. It made the process much faster.

Now however, each time you refresh the page the curser takes you to the username sign-in. Sign in or else! Every single time.

This has pretty much destroyed the desktop view. Despite the promises given in the past that desktop view would NOT go away.. They’re correct per se, it didn’t go away. They just made sure using it as painful as possible.
